cell structure

?
what are three main differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
eukaryotes: DNA enclosed in a nucleus, larger, more complex (multicellular)
prokaryotes: smaller, simple (unicellular), don't contain mitochondria, have free floating DNA (plasmid)

give an example for each type of cell?
eukaryotic: plant, animal, fungal
prokaryotic: bacteria

what are 3 parts of a plant cell that an animal cell doesn't have?
-vacuole
-cell wall
-chloroplast

what is the epidermis and what does it do?
a layer of very thin cells which protect the surface of the leaf
4 of 9
what are the adaptations of the upper and lower epidermis?
upper- transparent (allows light through), waxy cuticle (reduces the evaporation of water
lower- stomata allows gas exchange
5 of 9
which layer of cells is packed full of chloroplast?
palisade mesophyll near the upper epidermis)
6 of 9
which layer of the leaf has air spaces to allow the diffusion of gases between the stomata and the palisade cells?
spongy mesophyll

what is a tissue?
a group of cells with similar structures and functions
